Who This Is For

Designers, Architects, Builders, and Homeowners Outside the GTA

Interior designers

Specifying a marble vanity or surround for a Calgary or Vancouver project. We work directly off your specifications and ship to your client's contractor.

Architects

Drawing a custom carved surround into a Quebec or Atlantic project. We work from your drawings and produce shop drawings that match your specification.

Custom builders & GCs

Sourcing a focal-point marble piece for a high-end Calgary or Edmonton home. Your finish carpenter or stone installer sets the work; we handle everything upstream.

Homeowners

Renovating a primary residence in Montreal, Ottawa, or anywhere in Canada. Your contractor handles the install; we handle the stone, the fabrication, and the freight.

The Process

How a Ship-Only Project Runs

01Brief

Send us your specifications

Floor plans, photos, dimensions, stone preferences, finish, and target delivery date. For interior design and architecture clients we work from your spec sheets directly. For homeowners we walk you through what we need.

02Templating

By mail or from your drawings

For straightforward openings and rectangular pieces we work from your dimensioned drawings. For complex or scribed work we ship a templating kit (rigid corrugated stock, cutting blade, instructions). Your installer takes the template on site and returns it by courier. Kit turnaround is one week.

03Selection

Stone selection with video walkthrough

We share shop drawings within five business days. For ship-only orders we strongly recommend a video walkthrough of the actual slab before cutting. You sign off on the slab; we cut. No surprises on delivery.

04Fabrication

Three to six weeks in the shop

Same fabrication standard as our GTA work. Carved profiles take longer than flush profiles. Bookmatching, when called for, gets handled in this phase. We send progress photos at key milestones.

05Crating

Custom wooden crates, foam padding, corner protection

Pieces are crated in custom wooden frames with high-density foam padding, corner protection, and shock indicators on the exterior. Heavy pieces ship on flatbed; smaller pieces ship LTL freight on dedicated trucks for fragile cargo.

06Freight

Coordinated delivery to your contractor

We coordinate with your contractor on delivery timing, dock or driveway access, and tail-lift requirements. Standard freight time across Canada is two to seven business days depending on region. Tracking and ETA shared with you and your contractor.

07Receipt

Inspect on receipt; document any damage

Your installer signs for the crate and inspects for transit damage immediately. We require photos of crate condition before opening and contents immediately after. Damage in transit is covered; documentation is the trigger.

08Install

Your installer sets the piece

Written install guides shipped with every crate. Profile-specific mounting instructions for Surface panels. Plumbing rough-in guides for Bath. Remote support by phone or video for the install team. We're available the day of install.

Crating, Tolerances, and Field Allowances

Fabrication tolerances

Field-trim allowances

For openings that may have field variation we cut the piece slightly oversize and provide a trim allowance. Standard field allowance: 1/8 inch per side for archways and surrounds, 1/4 inch for vanity tops scribed to walls. Your installer trims to fit on site using a standard wet stone saw.
